Rolling out Altmetric for Institutions across your organisation
Congratulations! You now have access to Altmetric for Institutions. So, what next? Here
are our tips for rolling out the service across your organisation.
Shout about it! Let everyone at your institution know about access to
Altmetric for Institutions. Add banners to your library site and send an email
announcement to staff and faculty - use the template email on our website.
Enable IP access. Let the Altmetric team know if you’d like to set up IP access
during implementation. Everyone on-campus can then access via
www.altmetricexplorer.com.
Identify altmetrics advocates. Speak to researchers, librarians and staff across
your institution who are already using altmetrics regularly. Encourage them to
share their experiences with colleagues, run workshops and spread the word.
Run an introductory workshop or lunchtime demo. Invite researchers and staff
along to see Altmetric for Institutions in action. We offer training support to all
customers and can advise on session content or run a train the trainer session.
Discuss Altmetric for Institutions with professional departments. Include
the Library, Research Office, Communications teams and Alumni Relations -
discuss how they can use Altmetric data to extend their services.
Set up an Altmetric web page, LibGuide or FAQs. Borrow from our our User
Guides and use our template webpage copy to help get started.
Add to your department meeting agenda. Attending a faculty meeting?
Hosting a researcher away day or brown bag discussion? Feature recent
faculty altmetrics highlights, and discuss researcher use cases.
Embed altmetrics training in existing programmes. Include Altmetric for
Institutions training in digital literacy sessions, PhD skills programmes or
alongside bibliometric analysis workshops. We can help with materials.
